Intersection dangerous for cyclists

Who was the engineer who designed the updated Waddle Road intersection? If you’re riding a bicycle, it’s an accident waiting to happen. Bicycle lanes run between traffic lanes. By law, motorists are supposed to give those on bicycles a 4-foot clearance, and with the lanes set up the way they are now, it equates to an 8-foot clearance. There is simply not enough room, and I’m guessing it will be the bicyclists who will pay the price.
